The Medicine Lodge index notes that
President Cleveland will visit ST.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Paul, Minneap-
oils, and many other western points, in
October. The g. A. r. has made the
president thousands of friends, thous-
ands of Democrats who were lukeWarm
toward the administration prior to the
time Tuttle and Fairchild acted fools,
are now solid for Cleveland. Hun
dreds of Democrats who were members
of G. A. r. posts, believing that organ
nization to be nOn-political, have eth
er quit the order or protested against
further insults being heaped on the
highest officer in the land. Mr.. Cleve-
lands western trip in October will
make him the most popular candidate
before the public and it will be the
means of securing his denomination
without opposition, the very thing the
grand army of Republicans hoped to
prevent when they kept him away from
st. Louis.

An exchange says: A printer re-

advertising. When I want to strike
up trade with dead man, I'll 90

"Would you mind standing here
until l go and get a cigar" he asked.
"Of course not" she replied, "but
don't you think, Jim, smoking is ex-
pensive, and that it will be easiest
practicing economy after marriage if
it is practiced during courtship?"
"You are right, DEAR" he said; Il
shan't smoke any more And she
looked a bushel of love at him as
they resumed their stroll. They came
to an ice-cream stand and he said:
''There, nOwl [ meant to treat you to
ice cream; but, as you say, it is best
to practice economy during courtship.
Ten cents for a cigar, 80 cents for two
ice creams, 20 cents for oranges-60
cents saved in a single night. Let's
go down to the tank and get a drink
Of fresh water" They went, but she
was mad enough to bite her own head
off for mentioning economy.-Ex.

AS to the College.

Two or three things seem to be
pretty well demonstrated. One is that
there is nothing else to do with it but
to follow out the original design and
leave it as an institution under the
care of the Congregational denomina-
ton. Another is that Kansas Con-
gregational association cannot do much
and will not do what it might in the
way of direct gifts from the churches
toward an endowment. Washburn
college, with all its wealth, has never
received So 900 all told from Congrega-
tional churches in Kansas outside of
Topeka. The endorsement of an aSsO-
citation gives college a standing, en-
abling it to secure gifts in the East,
and it also gives it constituency to
draw from. Beyond this, it amounts
to but little.
Another fact which has developed is
that We can probably get the promised
endowment, or good part OF it, by
making it a preparatory school for
Washburn college. As the require
ments of Washburn are the same as
Yale and Harvard, we could add one
year and little more to our present
preparatory course in the classical de-
partment and two or three years in
scientific. Such school would be
greatly superior to a Dunkard college
and to many others of higher preten-
sions. For five OF six years it would
ably can do no more than this for lack
of students in the higher grades. But
we never could have d firSt-claSS and
genuine college.
The prospects of securing an endow-
ment in the near future are very fair.
The contest of the will of Cornelius B.
Erwin, of New Britain, Conn.,, has just
been abandoned, and it is stated that
the property will soon be distributed.
From this estate the colleges and Edu-
cational society receives 1888, 600,
SS3 600 to go to the college on its list,
| of which there are five or six. Mr..
Prior thinks he knows q gentleman in
Providence who would endow the col
| lege for the name, and Mr.. Lyman,
whom we appointed Acting President,
also has a hope in this direction. My
own sentiments L will express very
freely. AS Congregationalist looking
at the interests of our educational
work COMPREHENSIVE, L never have
been very enthusiastic over this col
lege. And 1 should be willing to-day
to make it a first-class training-school
like Philips academy at Andover, with
normal and scientific departments
added AS a citizen of this town,
say let us hold on for something still
higher and better. Let us see our col
lege along and sustain it in its early
struggles until funds can be secured
for its larger future work.
A guarantee fund of 81 500 a yea
would probably enable us to hold OF
until good endowment could bt
raised. w. A. BOSwORTH.
